View Full Version : For beginners or anyone interested..
Iconoklast 03-29-2004, 10:32 PM Hello,
I'm here to offer dedicated and motivated beginners a method to provide their, what will be talents, into something productive. The idea is that a group of beginners from a variety of computer areas:
programming: c++, java, php, actionscript
design: art, photostop, character modelling/animation, map making
concept design: concept art and design, etc
sound editing: music, voices, effects, etc
come together to hone their skills. A group that becomes close knit and comfortable with sharing tips and helping each other and inevitably can use their skills developed to produce something of production quality.
I myself am a beginner, dabbled a little in programming, but mainly 3d design.
The only requirement I'm looking for is that each person has at least completed 1 tutorial in their area of choice. However, this isnt limited to beginners; intermediate and advanced users are welcome.
The creation timeline is looking at, 1-3 months to gather the respective people. 2+ people per area so that they can help each other learn. 1-3 months for gathering ideas, deciding on what to design (game, web site, media). The rest will determine on how quickly each person is proceeding in their education.
If I do get enough support here, enough people interested, I will be creating either a channel on IRC, or a forum, (and of course Instant Messengers) so that we can communicate as a group.
For the meantime, please email obskyra@hotmail.com if you're interested.
NOTE: This is a non-profit project. It is designed to be a method for beginners to work together and help each other out and begin working in somewhat of a production system.

I would be interested in something like you described. I'm looking into HL2 and XSi as a potental for some future work I'm thinking about. I certainly would consider myself a beginner! but a quick learner. Most of my experience comes from hard CAD programs as opposed to 'soft' or polygon modeling. You can contact me at clivemidwinterATsympatico.ca if you think I meet the bill.

Hmm, sounds interesting. Im always wanted to make a mod, but right now I dont know C++ or XSI. Plan to learn XSI this summer though (starts in one week). Last summer I managed to get 1/2 way through a LightWave book, so I should pick up XSI real quick.
I am currently studying for a Backelor of Design at Sherican College, so depending on the project chosen, I might be of help. I know PHP, ASP, mySQL, JavaScript. Basically anything you need to do a website. I am a quick learner though :buttrock:
You can contact me at me@holymight.com

THis sounds pretty cool, I like the idea.
I'm not a pro, and i've never done any low poly modeling or animation, but I did some high poly modeling
I'm willing to help, if I have time, in the modeling or something else, and if it matters I use Cinema4D.

I'm from a mod in development, www.kingdomlost.net
You guys have a great idea, and i support it, however as a leader of a mod project I know that it's real hard to keep everyone together and focused without a plan. My suggestion would be to have a general idea of what you're trying to accomplish. :)
perhaps a small video?

I can't speak for Icon, but I can say with certainty, that we have in fact decided what is going to be made, and are in the process of fleshing out the idea :)

Greets,
I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of enthusiasm with the project. However, things have been moving along slowly, and the 50 or so people that emailed me to begin with, has been narrowed down to below 10. However, those who have remained have contributed more than enough, and we've developed a nice little friendship. With those that have remained, we have decided to create a mod for Half life 2. If you're interested in reading what our mod is about, please follow the link:
http://www.holymight.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=77
We also have a website set up at http://www.cgap-studios.com (http://www.cgap-studios.com/), however we've been having various problems with our webhost, and it is currently down. If you haven't guessed, we call ourselves CGAP Studios (Computer Graphics and Programming) and though we move along slowly, we eventually get what we have to done.
At the moment, we're looking for concept artists, we'll be looking for modeler's, artists, programmers, etc once we have more of our design document for the mod completed, but for now the need is for concept artists. However, the team's biggest request is someone who will stick by us, no matter how slowly, or quickly things progress. At the moment, the team is relatively close knit, as I had hoped, and even though something may move slowly, they always come on to just chat and contribute in whatever way they can.
If you have the time and interest to stick by us throughout the team's development, drop a line on the forums or email me directly.
Regards,
Iconoklast

Hi Iconoklast
Sorry about not being more active at the start it was entirely my fault and i realise that these things move along at their own pace, however other work commiments kinda dropped me out of the loop for a while :(
Anyway from what i can see you are doing a HL2 mod and if you still need modellers i would still be interested. My Low Poly modelling isn't up to much but i am always up for a challange.
Drop me a message on MSN if i am still on your list if not then maybe i will drop you one.
Good Luck and i hope to talk again soon

hi there, i could contribute a couple of tracks if you need music....
Check out my hard ass D&B (http://www.electromancer.com/artist.php?id=9f6209cbee)
if any of the tracks are usefull to you i can bump them down to a lower bit rate or i can modify them to suit the needs of the project.
id like to offer full music writing and sound editing, but im really busy with another project.
